I played a standard chess game as black with time controls set at 15 minutes with a 2 second increment. The opening played was the Sicilian Defense, Najdorf with 6.Bg5. White castled long. That one concise phrase speaks volumes as a tough sharp battle is the likely result, and this game was no exception. Piece activity and timing are both paramount in opposite sides castling positions. Proceed with caution, manage your clock time well, and be prepared to calculate accurately at any moment!

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who learned how to play from my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
